The Ancient Faith Psalter

by Monks of the Orthodox Church

A dedicated group of Orthodox monks (who wish to remain anonymous) have created a fresh English translation of the Masoretic Hebrew text of the Psalter, corrected to the Septuagint, that is eminently readable and singable. Durable soft cover, with gold foil stamping. A frequently asked The Psalms aren't in numerical order in this Psalter. Why is that? When you read this Psalter, you'll notice that the Psalms are not in numerical order. That was done intentionally. This edition of the Psalter was created for prayer, at home or in church, rather than for reference. It's not just another Book of Psalms. That means the Psalms are organized according to the established cycle of daily readings for Orthodox Christian monastic practice. We follow the same order in our churches and our homes. If you'd like more information for reference purposes, we recommend the Book of Psalms (and its accompanying notes) in the Orthodox Study Bible.

Great audiobook, Table of Contents needs wirk

Great audiobook, Table of Contents needs work. I use this every day to pray the Psalms and follow along in the book but the TOC doesn't correlate to the book and one has to search for what chapter of the audiobook goes with what chapter of the book. Other than that the translation is wonderful, the narrator is clear; I'm glad to have found this version, especially as my eyes weaken with age.

Fairly simple Psalter, with the necessary divisions for kathisma and stases. I'd personally prefer a "King James English" version, but this reads well and easy. Book opens well, pages are cream color for easier reading. Made well, it seems. If you need a simple Psalter for daily or weekly readings, this one is great.
